As you may recall, when I handed out the reports, I suggested that you use some of your spare time over the holidays reading in English.
To make this easier for you, I have chosen a story that you can read, which is not too long. It is called "The Happy Prince" and it was written by Oscar Wilde, the Irish writer. Some of you may have read it before, but it is worth reading again, I believe, as are the other tales by Oscar Wilde. I have given you two links to the story, one in written form and later in audio form so you can listen as well if you want. They are available in various formats for use on your computer, in print out or with a portable device.
